Latino Catholics Must Make Children’s Safety a Priority

By Martha Escutia, Esq.

Last Sunday, officials at Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in Ontario revealed to parishioners that Rev. Alex Castillo was removed from ministry earlier this summer because of allegations that he abused two young boys at the church. By failing to immediately disclose the cause of Rev. Castillo’s removal from Our Lady of Guadalupe in June, the Church let nearly four months go by where other potential victims of Rev. Castillo suffered in silence.

The case of Rev. Castillo reveals two truths: one, the clergy sex abuse crisis is not limited to an Anglo-Saxon Catholic population, but it reaches broadly within many ethnic communities, including the Latino community in California. Second, the Catholic Church continues to practice secrecy at the expense of transparency and honesty with its parishioners and the public.I served proudly for 14 years in the state legislature and was the first woman chair of the Latino Legislative Caucus in California. I am now working on behalf of victims of child sex abuse. As a Latina and a mother of two sons, I recognize that it is culturally very difficult to break the silence in the Latino culture when a child has been sexually abused by a revered and beloved priest in the community. There is shame and cultural pressure, and often family allegiance to a priest, but those difficulties are overcome every time a survivor of child sex abuse speaks out.

With every new survivor that comes forward, there is a recovery of power. Every survivor who courageously speaks out becomes a voice of experience that protects others and helps those who have been wounded. We as a Latino community must make it safe for victims of clergy child sex abuse to come forward and break their silence.

If one word describes out Latino community, it is family. As a mother and a dedicated public servant, I value the strength of our Latino community and the strong religious faith of many Latino Catholics. While still honoring our community, our faith and our churches, we need to make children’s safety a priority in the Latino community. We can learn from the case of Rev. Castillo.

We must demand transparency from our churches and embrace those among us who break their silence to reveal that they too have been abused by a clergy member as a child. This effort is not about bringing down our churches, rather it is about lifting up brave and courageous victims who have been abused as a child, thereby making our churches, our families and our communities stronger and safer for children.

About This Blog

For over forty years, delusional and lying Christians have accused Satanists of committing all manner of atrocities toward children without any evidence. This is ironic considering the pervasive occurrence of prolonged systematic child abuse among the various Christian churches and denominations, and among others abusing positions of trust in the Jewish and Islamic Synagogues and Mosques.

Enough hypocrisy. We all know who the sick, deranged child abusers really are: the sanctimonious frauds of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions.

In fact, you could go so far as to say that child abuse IS a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition!

STOP THE MADNESS.

The 9th Satanic Rule of the Earth

"Do not harm little children."--Anton Szandor LaVeyFounder of The Church of Satan

From THE SATANIC BIBLE

"Under NO circumstances would a Satanist sacrifice any animal or baby! For centuries, propagandists of the right-hand path have been prattling over the supposed sacrifices of small children and voluptuous maidens at the hands of diabolists. It would be thought that anyone reading or hearing of these heinous accounts would immediately question their authenticity, taking into consideration the biased sources of the stories. On the contrary, as with all "holy" lies which are accepted without reservation, this assumed modus operandi of the Satanists persists to this day!

There are sound and logical reasons why the Satanists could not perform such sacrifices. Man, the animal, is the godhead to the Satanist. The purest form of carnal existence reposes in the bodies of animals and human children who have not grown old enough to deny themselves their natural desires. They can perceive things that the average adult human can never hope to.

Therefore, the Satanist holds these beings in a sacred regard, knowing he can learn much from these natural magicians of the world."
